Description

Motul MULTI DCTF is an amber synthetic fluid based on Technosynthese for dual-clutch transmissions. It is intended for wet and dry automated gearboxes by ZF, Getrag, BorgWarner and other makers, including DSG, S-tronic, PDK, DKG and Powershift 6-speed units.

The data sheet lists no official approvals. The fluid meets the requirements of Ford WSS-M2C936-A, Ford WSS-M2C200-D2, Ford WSS-M2C218-A1, Fiat 9.55550-MZ6, Fiat 9.55550-HE2, Pentosin FFL-3, BOT 341, BOT 450, Mitsubishi Dia Queen SSTF-1, Tutela DCT 700H and a number of other specifications without official approval.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 7.1 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 173, pour point -48 °C. Available in 1 to 60 litres.

Application

Wet and dry dual-clutch gearboxes by ZF, Getrag, BorgWarner and others in cars of many makes, including VW, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Hyundai and Kia.

Worth knowing

On manual gearboxes, Motul’s data sheets of different dates disagree. The Ukrainian sheet dated 09/23 calls this fluid compatible with manual gearboxes that specify SAE 75W. The English sheet dated 09/25 says otherwise: for some gearboxes that need a very low viscosity when cold, such as SAE 75W with API GL-4, it is not suitable, and in that case Motul names GEAR POWER FE 75W. That oil has API GL-4 and SAE 75W, and its viscosity at 100 °C is 5.8 mm²/s against 7.1 mm²/s here. The codes are easy to confuse: both claim Ford WSS-M2C200-D2, but this one lists Fiat 9.55550-MZ6 and BMW MTF LT-5, while that one has Fiat 9.55550-MZ2 and BMW MTF LT-3. What GL-4 and the 75W grade on a gear oil can mean is explained separately.

Motul’s other DCT fluid is narrower on clutch types: the data sheet allows MULTI DCTF for both dry and wet gearboxes, whereas HIGH TORQUE DCTF is meant only for wet ones, and its data sheet rules out dry. MB 236.25, BMW DCTF-1+, Ferrari TF DCT-F3 and Pentosin FFL-4 are not in the MULTI DCTF list; they are claimed for HIGH TORQUE DCTF.
